Biography of Khariton Agrba

In an interview with the St. Petersburg Diary, he told which atmosphere reigns in the hall of the Boxing Federation of St. Petersburg and how to understand that your child can be successful in boxing. Why did you decide to support us? In addition to amateur athletes, here you could meet professional athletes from a variety of areas-and these are new acquaintances and communication.

Someone runs for a personal record, others are just for the soul, but the main thing is that everyone unites positive and joy. I, by the way, are from those participants who run for the soul. And running for me is a special emotional state, the atmosphere in which you can relax, relax. It so happened that on May 28 I went to the distance with such a mood - it’s easy to run.

By the way, I immediately noticed those who, apparently, decided to go to the record and seriously prepared! I watched them and at some point also picked up this intensity, began to add and add. It was nice to see the Petersburgers flee in a good mood, smile, support each other. We all love running for an indescribable atmosphere of unity, for which you want to return.

That is why, when I have time and the opportunity to take part in an event of this scale, I do it with pleasure. The Boxing Federation of St. Petersburg is one of the strongest in Russia, and the conditions in which athletes train are made at the highest level. What is the most interesting, for two years in a row, the team of St. Petersburg has occupied the first team place at the championship of the country.

This already says a lot. Recently, I am part of this team - I am pleased to be among the strongest, we support each other. It is very important to note the atmosphere within the boxing community. It's nice to go into the federation hall and watch people strive for new heights. When I was here for the first time, I did not think that the townspeople were so passionate about boxing.

For example, I am known in the boxing circle, but in St. Petersburg I was not often. And I was surprised that not only professionals, but just fans of boxing approached me in the hall. It was nice that they recognized me. People are really interested in boxing, communicate with each other, both professionals and amateurs. I think: well, wow! You train, and a person can just come up to talk, ask if I watched this or that battle.

This is cool! He is universal, this is a sport of high achievements, including with psychology. And since there are many different movements in boxing, it is very coordinating. Why am I talking about the universality of boxing? It’s not enough to be just strong and fast, dexterous. Boxing forces the brain to work so that all neural connections are connected to the process.

I was 8 years old, I wanted to deal with kung fu. I had a friend, a friend, and once he jokingly told me: “Khariton, I will“ take you ”. I thought perplexedly: “What are you going to do? How is that? And it always helps 99 percent! As a result, I say to a friend: "I do not want to lag behind you, I will also go to the fight." And he suddenly answers me: “Why do you need a struggle?

You have strong hands - go to the box. ” His words made a great impression on me, and I seriously thought about boxing. Sometimes I think about this event as a turning point in my life. Parents knew about my interest in boxing and once dad brought the disc with the best battles Mike Tyson, and I realized that I wanted to be as strong as this guy from the TV. I even have a ridiculous children's photo of that period: I am in a Pikachu T -shirt and pickery from horse hair.

It so happened that after moving, we walked past the boxing hall and decided to go. My first coach said: "Come tomorrow for the first training." There was an hour until the end of the training, but the father replied: "Hariton can right now." So it happened. The coach put me in the rack and taught me to beat direct blows. He said: "Beat until I myself come to you myself and I will not say." 40 minutes passed: I am all wet, tired, I continue to work.

The whole body hurts and suddenly a surprised coach comes up to me with the words: “Are you still working? And he, noting discipline and hard work, invited me to the next training. The training was given to me quickly, I must admit. Boxing attracted me more and more, I understood that I wanted to become the world champion. It was not a children's dream of a little boy.

I consciously wanted to be in the ring. The most important thing in life is to find your own business that will bring you positive emotions where you will develop creatively, and the people who surround you. It is very important which coach the child will get to: it should be a qualified master who will instill a love of sports. If we talk about my personal experience, when I started, I was not a very tall boy and at first I met the guys who were taller than me at the speeches.

But by the age of 18 I caught up with everyone! If we talk about the desirable parameters, this is growth-plus or minus above average, long hands, strong case. It should be understood that nature gives everyone their own. One will give more strength, but less speed.Another will have a developed sense of distance, which is very important for boxing, he can beat him. Box gives us the opportunity to study our body, our mentality.

For 18 years, I continue to study, because the most important thing is constant development. Any activity is built on this, not only sports. It is very cool that our team is just that. There are young guys in it who are already on the heels, and this does not allow me to relax, and experienced boxers. In our team, healthy competition reigns, we are friends and support each other. How would you describe your coach?

Who is he for you? It cannot be otherwise. And we, athletes, need to appreciate it. These people put my soul and love in me, and I will always be immensely grateful to them for it. So far I will not disclose the details, but it is already known that my rival will be a good boxer working in American style. Boxers of this format are interesting to me.

It will be a fight-check with a strong opponent, which will give me the opportunity to move in the ranking and get closer to my goal-to become the world champion. What are you? When I was in search of my style, I had a fight with Peter Petrov. The battle was for the IBF European belt. Then I thought there would be a close battle: he is a strong, seasoned guy. I knocked him out in the third round.

It was then that the understanding of my timing came. The next important battle was with Julius Indongo - a two -time world champion. The duel with him was especially interesting, because for the first time I got into a very professional game. It was that for the first time we planned that the battle would be 65 kilograms. Two weeks before the battle, when signing the contract, he said that no - 63.5 come on.

A two -week voyage began. I did this, although I admit, it was not easy for such a short time. What is the most interesting when we stood on the scales, they showed him a kilogram more! Julius did this specially - psychological pressure on the opponent, although he knew that fines were laid for this, but still took this step. After weighing, he came up to me, asked, contacted.

I wanted to drag me into my game laughs. But he did not know that I was a man of a different format. I really liked it! It is so cool that your opponent did everything in order to win. And I calmly answered him.
